Shooting in Manual Class

This class is for those who have a working knowledge of the components of exposure and who are shooting in aperture priority, or manual and want to learn how to take total control of their camera.

We cover and practice:

shooting in challenging situations that are difficult to do in any other mode: low lighting, high contrast, backlighting, silhouettes, moving objects at high speeds, everything in focus except for movement.

Looking for Light and Locations Class

Looking for Light and Locations Class

Looking for Light and Locations Class

All light is not created equal! We are going to look for the light that will illuminate our subjects for the vision that we have. We'll also be hunting down locations that add to the composition and visual interest to take portraits to the next level.I'll be teaching this class in an urban environment with a wide span of options for shooting as well as in a natural environment at a local park.

In this class we will be covering:

how to find spaces with great light for subjects, even on days which can be grey and overcast. Natural reflectors and open space are so important!

how to look for great places to compose shots with visual interest (framing, rule of thirds, symmetry, leading lines, negative space, using depth of field).

positioning and engaging with subjects in a variety of settings....no one wants to look awkward, starchy or super posed.

Family Photography Class

Family photography is so rewarding but can be challenging! Nobody wants stiff and stressful family portraits and as a photographer, you can set the tone and have plans to engage with a variety of families to capture their relationships.This class is for people who want to learn how to engage with a variety of families to capture their relationships. Light and love is where it's at!

In this class we will:

talk about solutions for challenges with family photography including: working with different ages, making photos fun and engaging, being flexible and making connections, what to do when things go sideways.

shoot 3 different family mini sessions with varying ages and dynamics.

share how I think through and approach a session from beginning to end. A game plan helps a ton and there's a reason why I shoot in the pattern that I do.
